Timer Classes

There are three timer classes:

                1. The windows forms timer requires an event loop & GUI. And uses only the GUI thread.

                2. The System.Timers.Timer is a component, works with the Visual Studio designers.

                3. The System.Threading.Timer is not a component and has a cleaner interface than the SystemTimers.Timer.
